This half day session is targeted at nurse and student nurse members. The workshop focuses not only situations that are imminently life threatening, but also on those that could result in impaired quality of life for the remainder of the person’s life. These can include issues such as malignant spinal cord compression, superior vena cava obstruction, hypercalcaemia, neutropaenic sepsis, haemorrhage, seizures and pathological fractures. At the end of the workshop participants will be able to recognise a palliative care emergency and identify the appropriate person centred care and treatment of the conditions. It will be delivered by the NI Hospice.
